May 2, 2008, Newsletter Issue #258: Juice

Tip of the Week

It is very important to limit the amount of juice your child drinks in a day. Juice is very high in sugar, can harm teeth and decrease appetite for other healthy food choices throughout the day. Toddlers should be limited to 4 to 6 ounces a day, and older children should not drink more than 12 ounces. Juice should be considered more of a treat than a thirst quencher. Be sure to offer your child plenty of water.
